Talk Elections

Report. (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2014/04/republicans-lead-in-texas.html)

Cornyn (R)- 49%
Alameel (D)- 32%

49/32, meh approval. (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2014/PPP_Release_TX_415.pdf)

Looks about right.

Alameel is no opponent for Cornyn, even if he has very crappy approvals.

Name recognition :P.

Cornyn never seems to cross 55% for whatever reason. This is something I noticed. On the other hand, KBH seemed to regularly hit 60%.

CLOSE ONE! IF RON KIRK RESIGNS FROM THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND DECIDES TO GO FOR A TX REMATCH, THIS WILL BE A TOUGHIE! HILLARY WINS 48 STATES AND DC IN 2016.

Stop, no one has said that.

You realise you need to have something to parody in order to parody it? No one is saying that Ron Kirk will enter, and no one is saying that this is close.

Maybe people aren't picking up on the fact that I'm mocking similar thoughts/posts for other races especially about people leaving the Obama Administration to run in Republican states. I know no one here mentioned Ron Kirk.

But the only person that has been subject to that sort of "hype" is Sebelius, if like, everyone in the Obama Cabinet were resigning left and right then you'd have a point.

Why the hell is PPP wasting its time and resources on uncompetitive snoozer states like Texas when Mississippi has a competitive primary and could possibly be competitive in November as well?

Nobody cares about the Texas race. People of all stripes care about the Mississippi race. And PPP hasn't polled it in nearly 6 months.

Those polls on their website determine what state they poll next, and every week some political blog somewhere gets all their readers to vote for some state no one cares about. It's why they took so long to poll New Mexico.

...and maybe you're still not getting the fact that Sebelius being hyped for a Senate seat in Kansas in this this type of year after her disastrous time as HHS Secretary is flat out asinine.

Why stop at Ron Kirk and why not go for Wendy Davis? She'd break 60% over Cornyn any day. Don't you know he's never broken 55%?

Wait, did PPP not poll the Senate primary runoff for the Democrats? How unfortunate.

Wendy will be Senator and Governor after these elections! Woooo!

IKR? The moment Cornyn beat Stockman/Stovall/Vega, this race was gone for Democrats and the only thing that matters at this point is whether Rogers or Alameel wins the runoff. Either would lose by a relatively big margin to Cornyn, but one, the LaRouchite, would terribly hurt the national image of the message Democrats are trying to send across in other key races and would run away from Obamacare while Alameel would run with it and fight for immigration reform.

Not that it matters much since Alameel won by double the margin Rogers got, but considering the singer Ke$ha got rid of the dollar symbol in her name, Kesha might do a little better than expected for Texans who honestly believe Kesha Rogers is Kesha. Alameel should still be favored, though.
